 Is FIRST making it too easy?... yes they are making it easier than years past. But I would also say that does that matter? If students are still inspired to pursue more advanced designs and eventually a career in the technology sector we still have met our ultimate goal. - MikeDubreuil [more] |

1024 Would like to thank:
1114, 2041, 111, 876, 1126, 1386, and 2048 for their fantastic assistance in all of our regionals! Three wins in a row! 
We've really enjoyed playing with you all, and hope that as many of you as possible will be in our division in Atlanta.
Thanks again,

GREAT JOB 1024!!!
I wanted to thank you guys thinking of us (1001) when you were thinking of your picks.
It ment a lot coming from a great team like you!
I almost wish we would have lost some more rounds just so we were not so high ranked so you could have picked us...LOL
But I am really glad you won! your robot was the best one & is showed when you won with no help from 1126 in the last round...
Good luck the rest Of this year!

I feel as if Beatty will be seeing some competition in a few years for the most championships won, this team deserves to win the big one!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
I haven't seen the matches, but even if 2048 deliberatly smashed 1024's robot, comments suggesting that a team didn't deserve a win are not a good idea here.

That "1 time" you casually mention was critical. Our robot was stuck in the fence and we couldn't move. 2048 rammed us with perfect timing to get us free and continue to play the first round of the finals match. 2048's ramming was not an accident or a mistake, but a well executed strategic move.
Considering how our robot got damaged in the match after that (extreme collision), if we wouldn't have had them there to help us off the wall and we lost the first round of finals, we would have had to run the remaining two matches... that third match may have been too much for our machine in it's state.
Also, we had some close matches, and the points that 2048 made running those perfect, PENALTY FREE (great job girls!) runs around the track eeked our alliance further to the end.
2048 was definitely an alliance contributor.
Thanks again to 1126 and 1386 as well!

p.s. 1126/Sparx: What happened to you guys in the final final? I suddenly realized I never asked afterwards.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
What an incredible accomplishment. Our team has never done more than one regional, and I don't think we'd have the stamina to go to three regionals... and still be able to pull off three wins. I really wish my team could have played with (or even against) you guys- I'm looking forward to seeing you play in Atlanta. Congrats!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
2048 i am again so thankful that you were there for our alliance!!! I am sorry that we had to take 1386 out though. 1024 thank you guys so much for picking us and working with us, i will make sure to stop by in Atlanta! As an update the cell in our battery blew in the last match. The strange thing was, this had happened previously on friday.

How I saw it was that 2048 did a lot more than run laps and push 1024 off the wall. They were the team that let the alliance move onto the finals by running the laps penalty free and doing as asked while 1126 and 1024 had issues. If you really think of it, they did a lot more and I am proud of those girls. They were actually the only robot on the alliance (i know it was a short time for them) that actually ran every match as intended without any issue. Early in the regional I was looking into a few teams for the third round, one of them was the 2048 girls. When i first heard that they were being bumped into the alliance, I got all excited. It was a intense elimination tournament and I could not have guessed how things would turn out on Thursday.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
Team 2048 you are the best! Normally teams slowly work
up to the finals and Wow you just suddenly were there
and you didn't panic but were REALLY COOL AND COLLECTED.
I enjoyed shaking all of your hands after we took the picture
together. I think you should know our Scouts had 2048 on our
pick list as a solid stable point maker with a guaranteed 4 point
Autonomous. You definitely had the right stuff.
Thanks for taking the advice of our team coach Marc on the
field and ramming us off that wall. I think we all saw what
happens in FIRST when multiple teams turn into an ALLIANCE!
I wish everyone continued success in their upcoming Regionals
and please stop by our pit at Nationals.
1126 sorry about your battery. As we all know anyone can
break
At Midwest we caught on fire and our Robot Controller
decided it might be a toaster oven control ( failed ) at Purdue.
(WE put the fire out in Chicago! ha-ha and changed the brain in Purdue.)
This proves that SMOKING CAN LEAD TO BRAIN DAMAGE.
Happy mentor from Kil-a- bytes.
P.S. did anyone notice that 2048 is the next of power of two up from 1024?

Congratulations 1024! We loved being around you in ATL last year, and now I know why! What a dangerous team to mess with! Look out Beatty and all the big names!
Can't wait to see you guys in Atlanta. =)

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
Great job 1024! You guys have accomplished an incredible thing. I would like to thank you guys a ton for picking us to be on your alliance in the finals. It was such an honor to be in your alliance and to work with you guys. I would also like to thank 2048 for helping us out a ton and would also like to thank 1386 for joining us in the finals. The Buckeye Regional was so much fun! Again great job 1024 and thanks to our alliance partners in the finals 1024, 1386, and 2048!
Like Dylan mentioned before....In qualification match #59 we had an issue with our battery. When we got back we tested it and found out that the cell went bad. Then with another new battery in Finals match #2 we had the same issue. That battery tested for a bad cell also. No clue how that happened but we are looking into it.

We at 1024 are all hoping we're in the same division as you all in Atlanta... it would be a pleasure to work with you all again.
Also, I'm just kind of putting this out there to see if there's interest, I thought it might be fun if all of the teams in our finals alliances got together for lunch or dinner one of the days in atlanta. Any takers?
